Everything is "okay" except the rear turret which matches the show that they get in to. The kit comes with a normal turret too in case you're not a 13 year old boy. It apparently comes with a doll too...

Now what I was thinking, is buy the kit now for $56 - which - for a 350th scale ANYTHING is cheap! And then in a year, sell the doll on EBay for triple. So you'd essentially be getting your kit for free!

I.e.: this is clearly meant to invoke eroticizm - with pre-teenage kids. But on top of that, Little Dancing Turret is clearly meant to attract even younger kids: 5-year-olds and under, who(se mothers) we regularly warn about choking on small, spiky parts from models exactly like this one. Are Japanese kids somehow that much more competent/mature than ours? Do preschool-age kids not put sh** in their mouths and choke to death? Who is certifiably Crazy (or Immorally Predatory), here?

And WTF is Shimakaze Girl doing with a torpedo-launcher on her back:

Is that supposed to be her "schoolgirl's backpack" - or intended as some kind of crude (and even dumber) statement? Meantime, Nice Ass...for a TWENTY-Year-Old!

Once again I have to "spit out" this disgusting "taste" from my sensibility, which you managed to avoid, in the first place - and refocus on the models, of which the above Shimakaze is a good deal.

And I browsed to find some more great deals with HobbySearch - enough to offset the shipping charge, in a larger order. Maybe we could snag these in a combined order we could make together, eh Don? If you haven't already put in an order, just eMail Me if interested, buddy!

Correct: it's the IJN P-102 that I am building - but from which KIT? There are three flush-decker DD kits that you might by now should know (or suspect) I would have, in my stash. Including the one I am all but positive you are using, above: the Classic Revell 240-scale 4-piper. Am I right?

Also, David, do you have any more pics of your USN Old BBs for us? Would love to post updates on any- or all of them, buddy!

it is the revel as I think I have between 4 to 6 of them as want to do the ex-stewart, hms campbelltown in her raid version plus a fast attack transport. currently finishing the bulges on the Arizona itself plus working on building up the stern area on the texas & starting the bulges on the idaho. working on rebuilding a heller 1/400 scale type 52 frigate.
